SoundTracker is a pattern-oriented music editor (similar to the classic DOS
program FastTracker and the Amiga legend ProTracker). Samples can be lined
up on tracks and patterns which are then arranged to a song.
Supported module formats are XM and MOD; the player code is the one from
OpenCP. A basic sample recorder and editor is also included.
SoX (also known as Sound eXchange) translates sound samples between
different file formats, and optionally applies various sound effects.
SoX is intended as the Swiss Army knife of sound processing tools.
It doesn't do anything very well, but sooner or later it comes in
very handy.
Sphinx 2 is a large-vocabulary, speaker-independent, continuous
speech recognition engine.
This is an early release of a research system. The APIs and function
names are likely to change, and several tools still need to be made
available to make this all complete.
Once the system is built, try running the Perl script sphinx2-demo.
The sphinx2-test script should run sphinx2-batch over an example
utterance of "go forward ten meters."

with your fingertips. List of supported features:
- Raw MIDI.
- Jack MIDI.
- Import from lyrics sites (chorded lyrics)
- Import from GuitarPro v3 and v4 format.
- Loading and saving from and to standard v1.0 MIDI files.

- 30000 BPM MIDI recording and playback.
- Undo/Redo support.
- Printing music like PDF.
Sphinx 3 is a frontend to the sphinxbase, a large-vocabulary,
speaker-independent, continuous speech recognition engine.
Once the system is built, try running the Perl script sphinx3-demo.
The sphinx3-test script should run sphinx3-batch over an example
utterance of "go forward ten meters."
Sphinx Base is part of a large-vocabulary, speaker-independent, continuous
speech recognition engine.
This port is required for PocketSphinx and Sphinx3
Once the system is built, try running the Perl script sphinx-demo.
The sphinx-test script should run sphinx-batch over an example
utterance of "go forward ten meters."
SpiralLoops is an experimental loop-based sampler for Linux and FreeBSD.
The idea of SpiralLoops is to provide a simple, visual tool for looping
and layering of sounds; which can be sourced from either WAV files on disk,
or from sound-generating plugins.
SpiralLoops allows you to create loop-based compositions with the minimum
feedback time between the decisions you make and your ears. The looping
mechanism is very flexible; you can lock the timing of loops together, or
offset them for creating complex sequences, such as polyrhythms.
Loop triggers can be used to cause interaction between the loops, and as
an experimental way of creating music.
TagLib# is a FREE and Open Source library for the .NET 2.0 and Mono
frameworks which will let you tag your software with as much or as
little detail as you like without slowing you down. It supports a large
variety of movie and music formats which abstract away the work,
handling all the different cases, so all you have to do is access
file.Tag.Title, file.Tag.Lyrics, or my personal favorite
file.Tag.Pictures.
But don't think all this abstraction is gonna keep you from tagging's
greatest gems. You can still get to a specific tag type's features with
just a few lines of code.
adapted from the Web page and the README:
Spiral Synth is a physically modelled, monophonic, analogue
synthesizer. It is capable of creating the kind of sounds made by
hardware analogue synths, the noises used in electronic music.
You can also use it to make stranger sounds. MIDI is supported,
including velocity detection, mapped to the volume of the oscillators
(but you can also use the PC keyboard to play the synth). Output
is to /dev/dsp or in Microsoft RIFF (.WAV) format to a file. You
can save and recall your sounds using the 100 patch save slots.
The PC keyboard can be used to play the synth, "q" & "z" are C,
and the keys progress from them: "2" is C#, "w" is D, etc. These
are just the defaults, and can be changed from the .Spiralrc file.
The function keys change the octave.
Sample output and a detailed list of features can be found on the
home page.

Squash is a C/Ncurses based music player. It supports mp3 and ogg through
libraries (and planned flac support). Squash uses statistics to determine songs
to play automatically. It garners this information through whether or not a song
is skipped. Squash also avoids picking the same song twice. Thus Squash is
like a radio station that plays the songs you like -- and you don't even have to
call in requests!
